I'm very happy to announce that our forum is back online, as of today.

It was deactivated a couple of years ago due to a sustained campaign of spam, that not only left the forum unusable, but also exhausted our space quota, and - thanks to the nature of the spam - led to our suspension from the Google Adsense programme (which contributed more-or-less our annual hosting fees at the time). Suspending the forum was regrettable but necessary. Sadly, the size of the job to fix it, combined with the lack of time on my part, meant that it stayed in this state for over two years.

After receiving a number of requests (and also missing the community myself), I spent some time cleaning up the spam, deleting users without any posts, and upgrading the software. New measures are also in place to prevent a repetition of this situation: new users must answer a simple Lufia-related question to register, and wait for my approval before they can post (I'll be quick!). I hope that things will be different this time.

No doubt it will be hard to bring back the Lufia World community of old. Maybe it will never happen: a lot can change in two years (and holy moly, I'm nearly in my 30s, having put this site together and barely updated it since my teens!). Still, even if the community does not return, at least we can browse the older threads - our history - and rekindle some memories. Enjoy!

*pinches self*Lufia World Forum is back and this time it's not just in one of my dreams =P

Good to hear! That's a much better way to spend time than drowning.I've been great! I would almost go as far to say I've gotten a life the past years. But, as they say, Life is good but Lufia is better!
